Ferrero was asked if he would train Sinner in the future, and the answer given left open a possible collaboration, although many would probably have expected the Iberian to give a negative answer: “I would have to think,” he said, as quoted by puntodebreak.com.
A possible connection between the two would take place from the year 2027, when the Italian Darren Cahill will leave the team of the former world leader, and his place could then be taken by the man with whom Alcaraz won all the trophies until the age of 22.
Alcaraz's former trainer could be working with Sinner soon
“It would be something I should think about. They are great players, but this is not the time to think about it and say yes or no. Now is the time to get over this difficult stage, because every day I still think about Carlos and it is not the time to think about others”said Ferrero, when asked if he would collaborate with Jannik Sinner in the future.

Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero have been together throughout the Spaniard's professional career, managing to win no less than 24 trophies, including 6 Grand Slams.
Juan Carlos Ferrero was elected coach of the year 2025 alongside Samuel Lopez, who will continue alongside Alcaraz. The Murcian technician was the only one to receive the distinction twice, after the one in 2022.
Everything seemed to be going well. It is true that when a year ends, certain aspects of contracts must be reviewed. And as with any new contract, looking ahead to next year, there were certain things we didn't agree on. As with all contracts, some pull in one direction and some pull in another. Those in Carlos's entourage think about what is best for him, and I, from my entourage, think about what is best for me.
There were certain aspects on which the two sides did not agree. Maybe they could have been saved if we had sat down at the table to discuss, but in the end we didn't sit down and decided not to continue. This is what really happened. There are points I won't go into detail about but we disagreed and eventually parted ways
